I preordered mine with a back ordered case of elite 29, so I'm not sweating it, hopefully both will be in soon though

Apparently all the time. Don't you know he sired half of NC's illegitimate population?
Seriously, though, why get mad at RSC? Especially you MOC guys? I ordered mine through amazon because a friend of mine has prime and because I open them. And Lo, mine came with a big ol' dent in the package and a torn flap. Got what I paid for. At least the RSC knes will generally come in good shape for those it matters to.

The only sucky about it is that you pay the extra money to get these figures earlier than the stores so you don't have to deal with beating scaplers or wasting gas to find good figures. I'm waiting for Flair to come in so I can ger my case of E29. If its not one thing, its another! I'm trying to get ahold of wicked cool toys about my ASR and nothing.

Yeah, I typically wait for stuff to hit retail... I do enjoy "the hunt" but I knew this figure would absolutely drive me crazy - I would have driven all over town until I found it, probably wasting countless gallons of gas and spare time just checking places to see if it was there yet....
I decided to save myself all that aggravation this time - since this will be such a special, most wanted figure for me - I thought I'd save my sanity and just buy it from Ringside. This is the first time I've pre-ordered a "new release" from Ringside Collectibles - usually I've bought sale & clearance items... of course - I ordered two, one for display - one to keep MOC....
So you can imagine my frustration watching thread after thread of "I got my Flair today from Amazon"..... you can bet this is the last time I'll buy a new release from Ringside. I'm sure when I buy my next release from Amazon there will be some kind of problem with that, too.
But, at the end of the day - I keep telling myself, it's just a toy, and when I get it, I'll still enjoy it just as much. I'm really not the type that has to have stuff "first". It's just that - this is one I've been waiting years for!
Mattel just can't seem to get this "distribution" stuff figured out.... I've never seen a company that has so many people willing to spend good money - and they just can't get the product into their hands fast enough.....

And I've only ever had one bad shipment from Ringside. |

Ringside should give us a voucher or credit of $5.00 for each flair figure we pre-ordered. It is what is best and smart for business. Money has already changed hands and a preorder means the same time as everyone else.

Money has already changed hands and a preorder means the same time as everyone else. I agree and disagree with this. I agree that pre-orders should have already been fulfilled, otherwise some form of compensation for the "inconvenience" should be provided. However! In a business perspective, think about how many people cancelled their orders already. RSC is losing a lot of money because of this "issue" that they never had control over, and giving away more money will only hurt them more. What I suggest! Is that RSC gives the people who kept their preorders a coupon for 15%-20% off their next purchase THAT... Is best for business  |

You could always cancel your order and order from Amazon if you are impatient. I've considered canceling mine but I figured I'll wait. If it doesn't ship within the next 2-3 days i'll just cancel the order and order from Amazon.

Is best for business I am good with that too. although with most of my orders with ringside, they will make a lot more money giving me a $5 credit than 15-20 percent off. Either way it would make me happy and a happy customer means a returning customer! |

I'm getting frustrated about them talking forever to ship my ASR. I also ordered some other figs too. You drop 150 dollars and still have to wait for a preorder item. It's annoying.

So...order separately. They clearly define that your order will ship when any preorder/backorder items you ordered are in stock. |

I mean to say that I'm a bit bummed that they just know shipped out something that others have already received. |
